Leadership development may be the most important thing any company does. That’s why, every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover leadership development to find the very best leadership development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to posts about leadership development and cultural fit, leadership development mistakes, and learning and leadership development.

From Rich Wellins: What an MBA Program Won’t Teach You About Leadership

“As part of our High-Resolution Leadership research, for which we evaluated assessment data from 15,000 leaders across 300 companies and 18 countries, we compared the performance of those with undergraduate business degrees and MBA degree-holders against a set of critical leader skills.”

From Magdalena Mook: How to make the business case for investing in professional coaching

“As a strategic initiative, professional coaching can be in the crosshairs requiring a valid business case. But the facts are clear. According to Building a Coaching Culture, a research report published by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and the Human Capital Institute, organizations that offer coaching say it leads to benefits including increased engagement, faster on-boarding into new roles, faster leadership development and increased emotional intelligence.”

From Scott A. Hurrell: When employees lack ‘soft skills’, whose fault is it?

“Firms should look at their internal factors, such as job design, workloads and HR practices, argues Scott A. Hurrell”

From Martin Couzins: L&D must adopt more agile approach

“Workplace learning continues to adapt to changing technologies and ways of working, but should L&D professionals be providing courses or resources for their employees? Martin Couzins visits the CIPD’s Learning and Development Show in London.”

Bonus from Karin Hurt: Frontline Festival: Leaders share tips about professional development

“This month’s festival gives tips about professional development for leaders. Thanks to Joy and Tom Guthrie of Vizwerx Group for the great pic and to all our contributors!”
